AI-Generated Deepfakes Challenge Privacy, Cybersecurity, and Civil Procedure Boundaries

Undeniably, the advent of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) technology has precipitated some startling developments in content creation, in particular the creation of hyper-realistic deepfakes.

As outlined in a recent issue of Cybersecurity Law & Strategy, AI and machine learning are now capable of creating entirely new forms of content and data.

These rapid-fire technological advancements have clear implications for privacy, cybersecurity, and civil procedures. One pertinent question that arises, for instance, is how conventional litigation tools and techniques will react and adapt to these largely unprecedented data challenges. This is a new frontier in the field, with digital forensics specialists and legal professionals yet to fully encounter or grapple with its challenges.
